#1 There are ministers in the Indian cabinet doing a ruthless calculation of electoral votes available at the next general elections.
They see the majority Hindu community as fragmented and not interested in national security matters.
Muslim votes are available to those who would pander to them.

Hence the perverse logic of "secularism" in India which means giving muslims sharia, subsidizing the Haj pilgrimage to Mecca, ignoring the incitement t murder of the Danish cartoonists by muslim politicians, preventing Indian citizens from buying land and residing in Jammu and Kashmir etc.

One minister, Arjun Singh, had to be silenced by Manmohan Singh when he interrupted a presentation during a cabinet meeting by the Home Minister Shivraj Patel.
Patel was giving some intelligence info on the mumbai train bombings when Arjun Singh, who has been pushing for a huge affirmative action program for muslims, claimed that hindus might have been responsible.

Now Arjun Singh is no pacifist. He was governor of the Punjab during the insurrection of the 1980s when it was under direct rule from Delhi. The police reported to him and they were exceedingly ruthless, "disappearing" thousands of terrorists and their suppporters.
The then Punjab police chief KPS Gill said that "Terrorism in the punjab didn't stop because of any peace process or political accomodation. it stopped because we killed all the terrorists."
Arjun Singh knows about the need to exterminate terrorists but he sees the need for the muslim vote to keep the Congress party in power.

This is pretty lame. The Congress party used to have a lock on Indian elections. Now they're reduced to begging votes from terrorist-loving Muslims. John, based on the current situation, what are the odds of the BJP returning to power during the next election cycle?

#4 The BJP, like the Congress is incapable of winning an outright majority - they need smaller parties for their coalitions. If they can attract a party with enough seats, they can form a government.

#5 It will be interesting to see if there is significant hindu backlash to all this appeasing of the muslim vote.
